Description Kevin Pearsall 2006-08-10 12:45:32 UTC
Playing this in VLC works, but is a bit choppy because we don't have that much downstream here...

http://www.kexp.org/audio/kexp-uncomp.asx (asx with ads - doesnt work at all)
mms://media-wm.cac.washington.edu/KEXP-Uncompressed (mms of stream from asx - buffer frenzy)

First URL oes not work at all.	Second URL gets in this crazy buffer frenzy state.  Will file a bug.  Looks like direct
streaming can't handle a 1.4kbps stream...  Prob not intended to do so in the first place.

About KEXP's Uncompressed CD-Quality Stream

KEXP is the first radio station in the world to offer uncompressed audio on the internet.

You'll hear KEXP's broadcast in high-fidelity audio, with sound quality that is actually better than our FM signal. In fact, it's nearly CD quality.

    * Regular internet radio streams at around 60 kilobits per second

    * MP3's average about 160 kilobits per second

    * KEXP's uncompressed audio streams at 1400 kilobits (1.4 megabits) per second.

To access it, you'll need Windows Media Player, version 6.3 or higher. You'll also need a high-speed connection such as:

    * A full T1 connection

    * An ethernet connection

    * A fast DSL line

    * A cable modem (may work -- depending on how busy your network is at the time)

Now you're ready to check out 24-hour uncompressed audio � only at KEXP.org!

Do you think this would be a firmware bug, Richard?
Comment 2 Richard Titmuss 2008-01-10 12:40:29 UTC
Assigning Squeezebox firmware bugs to Felix.
Comment 3 James Richardson 2008-09-11 13:19:38 UTC
resting bug, QA to validate with latest firmware
Comment 4 James Richardson 2008-09-12 15:02:48 UTC
Verified this is still an issue with SB / TP

Both HTTP and MMS: work with WMP11
Both fail with iTunes

Possible dupe of: bug 3383
Comment 5 Chris Owens 2008-09-15 09:30:01 UTC
We can revisit this decision if any actual users every see this issue.
